Interesting how ultra-conservative mainstream landscape architecture remains (with its ever-present 18th Century [Capability Brown/Claude Lorrain] and [ 19th Century-Calvert Vaux / Olmsted] vibe) after ambitious, pioneering innovations in form-giving by the Peter Walker, Martha Schwartz, Ken Smith- Harvard GSD cohort that continues to make an effort to bring landscape design not only into the realm of the fine arts but into the realm of 20th Century fine art, i.e. Modernism, Postmodernism, Omnimodernism i.e. ideas that might relate in some small way to our epoch - the Cubist revolution (1912), Duchampian notions of reposition and or notions of "Less Is More" Minimalism of Judd, Andre, Serra. One can only imagine how the profession of Landscape Architecture might respond to Fine Art notions of the past 30 years comprising Critical Theory and its elements of caste, race, gender, sexuality, equity, colonialism, ablism etc. The bulk of contemporary landscape design, as represented in these seductive, comforting, big, soft pillow projects appears to be smug in its role an obediant servant of the masses. One might think that the presenters of awards could save a space for one shred of its avant garde. All respectable art of our time (Music, dance, sculpture, architecture) rewards its innovators, its thinkers rather than its exhausted status quo. Landscape Architure does not throw its innovators a crumb of recognition. Sad.....pathetic.
